Withdraw using Prepaid debit cards?

#1 27th March 2007, 1:05 AM

Hey, i was cashing out on pokerstars the otherday when i saw the option

"Cashout using prepaid Visa Debit Card"

i was just wondering if anyone who has used it could tell me if it was worth it...

right now it takes like 10 days to cashout using epassporte and is very inconvenient (plus it costs 2$ )

and since i plan on being rich playing from poker and all ... i like to use the best cashout option available

PS offers the Paytru card, which you can cash out to quickly and easily. I'm sure they get a rakeback from the card co., but hey, the service so far has been good.

I'd be interested to find out if the prepaid visa's work too and if there is any fees involved?

well, you cant put money on them once youve activated one... so i would assume that you wouldnt be able to withdraw money onto one... Its only for actual Debit cards.... So in order to withdraw you would have to create an epassporte or whatever other options there are.. Im really not sure how the cash out process works tho these days

Anything better then epassporte sounds good to me

this option is for the paytru card which is quite handy. I can initiate the withdrawal and by the time I drive down to the ATM the cash is in my hands. I think there's about $4 in fees though. The ATM charged me $2 and Paytru charged $2. MyWebATM for Fulltilt does the same thing. But they show up instantly and are ready for withdrawal at the ATM in minutes.

how do u get the paytru card? can u us it in the US?

I went to mywebatm.com and found the sites home page. Sounds pretty good so far and will apply for one today. Hope it works out like Marklar says, and not just another epassporte. If its that good and this thread is gone, I'll start a new one.

Yes paytru can be used in US. Pokerstars didnt offer it to everyone for some reason but from what ive read more and more people are starting to see the option show up. If you get the offer, there will be a button in the top left of your pokerstars cashier screen that says something like "sign up for your free prepaid debit card". Once you sign up you'll be given an account number which you can begin using instantly, and the card will be sent in the mail.

Just applied and got my Pay Tru prepaid visa card at Poker Stars like Marklar said, and was able to load it and deposit into pokerstars in minutes. Checked out the atm locations for cash outs and found one 2 blocks from my house. If I get to cash out I'll let you know how it works. It didn't work at Bodog.

I believe that u misread that slightly.... PS offer their own Visa Debit to use to cash out. Only thing is I have had a problem figuring out how to get one.

When I went to buy-chips at pokerstars a pop up said I was selected to get this prepaid visa card. Of course I got it and it worked. Try going to the web site www.paytrucard.com
